Where parents spoil their kids with unique toys and pint-sized designer apparel.

The Scene
Cartoons play on video monitors in the back, but shopping at this store is far from child's play. What else would you expect for the serious shoppers of the Meatpacking District? A crib and a cloth playhouse add a youthful atmosphere to an otherwise sophisticated kids' shop. Although walking space is limited in this jungle of games, dolls and apparel, a personable, persuasive salesman guides customers to messenger bags, stuffed animals and marionettes.

The Goods
It's never too early to start grooming your children in the rules of Manhattan fashion. This combination clothing-toy store offers Diesel jeans, Lacoste shirts and Pumas for tykes ages 2 to 12. Even the popular Da-Nang line comes in compact portions. But while Dr. Seuss books are available for the kiddos, mommies can treat themselves to Bebel Gilberto and Soundwalks CDs as well.
